It was no secret that Maluma planned to revisit his Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy era, but the anticipation for how this revamped version of his decade-old self would sound has been palpable. Now, we finally get a taste with Cosas Pendientes, the first single from his upcoming album, +PRETTY +DIRTY. This release pays nostalgic homage to his iconic era, albeit with a much more contemporary sound.
Staying true to his urban roots, Maluma embraces the evolution of the genre to amplify his essence while retaining elements that transport fans back to the days when the young Colombian was just breaking into the music scene. With this project, the artist aims to highlight the charm, energy, and elegance that defined his early career, all while exploring new sounds that reflect his artistic growth and maturity.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the cinematic flair of his music videos. The release of Cosas Pendientes is accompanied by a lavish video, very much in Maluma’s signature style, featuring a mix of action and romance—a hallmark of this musical genre.
More +PRETTY and +DIRTY than Ever
It could be said that Maluma has reconnected with everything that made him the star he is today. This new era, already full of exciting details, follows his recent collaboration on +57, a controversial track featuring Karol G, Feid, J Balvin, Ryan Castro, Blessd, and DFZM.
These events are no coincidence. Back in his Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy phase, Maluma was also known for teaming up with some of the biggest names in Latin music. This pattern signals the return of the Maluma who captivated fans with hits like La Temperatura and Borro Cassette. And this time, he’s here to stay.

[Intro]
Hahaha
Maluma, ba-ba-baby
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw you at the club dancing with someone else
But then they played our song
You looked into my eyes and smiled
And with that, you said it all
I thought you’d moved on since you never came back
[Chorus]
Turns out, baby hasn’t forgotten me, she’s still holding on
She tries to ignore me, but the tension is clear, you can feel it
If they ask her if she’s over me and she says yes, she’s lying
It’s no secret that she and I have unfinished business
Turns out, baby hasn’t forgotten me, she’s still holding on
She tries to ignore me, but the tension is clear, you can feel it
If they ask her if she’s over me and she says yes, she’s lying
It’s no secret that she and I have unfinished business
[Verse]
There’s unfinished business, a hot night, a romantic dinner (Yeah)
Why do you act differently? Around people, you play the cold one (Ah)
Trying to seem like the good girl, baby
But you know you’re still mine
Looking at photos, I stumbled on yours
And I won’t lie, it gave me a little thrill (A thrill)
I don’t know why you even tried with the next guy
You’re not ready to move on from me
The mark I left on you is still permanent
Like a tattoo, nothing’s going to erase it
Is it that you’re missing me, baby?
That he can’t fill the void?
You swore you forgot me
But you’re lying, I know
[Chorus]
Turns out, baby hasn’t forgotten me, she’s still holding on
She tries to ignore me, but the tension is clear, you can feel it
If they ask her if she’s over me and she says yes, she’s lying
It’s no secret that she and I have unfinished business
[Outro]
Haha
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Maluma, ba-ba-baby, haha
+PRETTY +DIRTY
Mamacita, I know you miss me, haha
